Google has gotten waaay too big for their britches and need to be humbled a bit. "Don't Be Evil" is a joke.

I don't think we need government intervention though. They will take themselves down. Or another company will do things better than them (like maybe actually have customer service and listen to the people that use them) and take them down.

Just out of curiousity, who does Google support financially in elections? I was under the impression that it was the Left. And since France is currently under a Right govt. could that have anything to do with them wanting to go after Google? or Could I be way off base?

I use google chrome as a browser. One of the quirks is that to use google to search, rather than go to the google home page enter the search term in the browser address bar and hey presto, a google search happens with a drop down menu with suggestions as you type.It might not be new, just for me, but one of the suggestion was search Yahoo for ---- and Search Ask Jeeves for ----.
